#updates wordpress

[vampireharpy]

for those maybe familiar with my fakemon project, the Lapeo Region, where I'm making a fakedex based entirely on prehistoric creatures and whatnot--

well, I recently made a whole page on my site dedicated to it, so you can scroll through the whole dex! I'm currently expanding on it again, so there's a couple new faces there that haven't shown up anywhere else yet hehe

[unpretty]

DMBJ Chapter Order Guide & Online Chinese Novel Site

In the link above is a guide which compares how Merebear's translation organizes the main series versus how the original novels are organized.

The Volume tabs in the document are based on how Merebear organizes them. For a table based on the how the original Chinese chapters/volumes are organized, please see the wiki pages here.

Just a heads up, the way the original Chinese chapters/volumes are organized is very confusing (which is why Merebear organizes them differently).

Additionally, I have created a WordPress to archive the online Chinese versions of the DMBJ novels and short stories. However, it's currently a work in progress. So, hopefully soon many of the stories will be easier to access for the international fandom.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

TUMBLR ARTISTS

Right now, go to Settings (the cog) > Visibility and ACTIVATE THE THIRD SELECTION:

Don’t let AI take your art! Or your writing. Or, basically, your soul.

[drgeppo]

haven't seen anyone on my dash talking about this yet:

[citylighten]

so here don is trying to entice his wife and here she is thinking of food

[that-sounds-mighty-oof-to-me]

just updated two wordpress plugins because "what could happen right" and took our entire website out at the knees. thank god for backups.

[pinayelf-archive]

I can't and won't leave tumblr. because there's nowhere else really to post art where it can have engagement besides this site, Twitter, and instagram

and sadly all those avenues don't have artists' best interest in mind. but given that commissions and sharing art on social platforms is my only way of making any income

I'll be glazing and using nightshade on my art (I've also opted out of the scraping thru settings), and I'll still be posting, knowing that there's a risk

it's just saddening it's going in this direction. so I ask ppl to support REAL LIVING artists on here, Twitter (who is also scraping for ai), Instagram, and anywhere else because it feels bleak for us

[fobnsfwdoodles]

New pinned post!

Howdy, I just wanted to make an updated post with all the info for this blog and how it works!

I draw all things horny Fall Out Boy! Art is my full time job and this blog is my passion project

All uncensored work is stored on my wordpress. The password to view all of these is "fob" all lowercase

If you would like something specific drawn send me an anonymous ask and I'll try to get to it when I can! I do requests for free!

If you would like a self-insert request/personal request send me some SFW references of yourself and confirm you're over 18, I'll add it to the list of things to do

I will happily repost work related to this blog like fics about specific doodles or art of ideas discussed here! Other artists please interact lol

If you'd like to tip me, or help fund this blog so that it doesn't go away you can always donate here

I try to tag things with band member, ship name, and art/not art. Should anything happen to this blog my backup is fobnsfwdoodlesbackup

I want my art to reflect body positivity, gender diversity, racial diversity, and to destigmatize sex and sexual conversations. Everyone deserves to see their body/identity represented and to feel sexy/desirable/beautiful/respected. Here we prioritize pleasure, joy, intimacy, sexual safety.

Have fun!

If you’re wondering why I haven’t posted anything new in a while, January was a pretty busy month! One of the bigger reasons was this:

I got my first tattoo!!

It’s actually a twin set with my sister 👀

By the incredible Joanna Shoop, whose work you should definitely be following.

… Anyway, I also have been moving out of state. That’s taken up a decent portion of my brain power.

And the brain power not being spent on moving wound up allocated to a big, fun review of all the media I consumed in 2024 post on my personal blog — check that out if you’re interested:

With those concerns largely off of my shoulders (not that there aren’t a million more things happening as part of the move), I’m hoping to get back into some fun writing stuff soon! Will keep y’all up to date.

2024 September Monthly Updates

read on my blog

I've got a very short update for you this month. I don't have any significant milestones or progress to show, I've just been keeping at it making progress on various things I've talked about recently. October will probably look pretty similar so I'll likely skip doing an update for it, especially since my girlfriend and I will be moving into a house late in the month and that'll be keeping the bulk of my attention! Once we've moved I'm planning to get the supplies I need to launch an online shop 🌟 I'll be easing into thing listing mostly prints & stickers I've already got designed but I've also got some plans for bigger things I want to make in the coming months :)

In other news I decided last minute (right now as I am writing this post) to do an October drawing challenge! My friend was telling me about their plans I got nostalgic for when I was in high school and took requests of other people’s ocs to draw every day in October or turn into merfolk in May… So if you’d like to submit a character for me to draw I’ve made a form here! I’ll be doing them in the same template I did these artfight attacks in because they were really quick and fun. I don’t actually know how long I’ll keep it up or if I’ll even do it daily, I’ve put zero planning into this and I know I have a busy month ahead of me so I’m also putting zero pressure on myself about it but we’ll see!

A Good Rule of Thumb: Too Clever is Dumb

Sooo, I am going through the site, post by post, to make sure everything is legible. Got about 100 left to go. But, here's the deal, my custom reusable blocks, which WordPress is so proud to offer... Aren't.

It's the updates. It's a year's worth of updates since I designed most of them, to WP and to the third party blocks that hafta keep up with it. Milo's cards don't really work anymore, nor do my existing accordions - although the the template still works on the latter if I stamp out a whole new block, the accordions weren't as complicated.

There wouldn't be as much of a problem if I could make a post and never, ever open it in the editor again, ha-ha, but that's not how I roll. So, while I am fixing colours and minor formatting errors, I am experiencing an occasional crashed block. I haven't killed any of Milo's cards yet, but the template doesn't work to make new ones, so it's inevitable.

First, I am correcting for legibility. But, eventually, I will have to go back around and redo the cards, and probably the Liner Notes, and other random stuff. I'll have to pick a new card format before I post the next instalment, because there's a card in it. I might end up going way more simple with no font or graphics at all - I'm having trouble with the theme fonts overriding the card fonts. Or else I'll hafta go back to images, which is less accessible and won't work with the dark mode. I know probably nobody's willing to put up with my work via a screen reader, but I'm trying not to be an asshole, just in case, ya know?

Well, tl;dr, I believed WordPress about a thing and made more work for myself. If grouped in a complex structure, Gutenberg's reusable blocks aren't reusable. Depending on complexity, you got about a year, then you gotta remake them all over again.

Beyond that: Since Discuz started dropping updates of untested compatibility, the SPOILER tags don't work anymore! There are spoiler-heavy comments now. I might be able to fix it, but in the meantime, NEW READERS (if any) BEWARE THE COMMENTS.
